Einolfenstein?

So I’m working on this cover for Mr. Einolf’s story, Ten that he’s going to be posting piece by piece here on STP, right? And I start flipping through an old newspaper from August 20th, because I prefer to let my news ferment a little while before I read it. And I get to the inPortland page and I drop everything else and flip the frick out, because I see there’s this picture of a Davisular being there on that page in a Boy Scouts uniform carrying a flag, see?

Calm down, Ben, I tell myself. It could be someone else, I tell myself. Lookin’ good, I tell myself.

So the first thing I do is scan that front page, because this experience must be documented. This scan job takes a full three minutes to complete, because it’s apparently going to be in really high quality.

During this three minutes I seriously consider writing this epson company a scathing letter, complimenting them on their scanner quality, but insulting them on the time it takes to scan it. I need instant gratification, dang it!

Ah. Finished.

…what. This scan is a piece of s***!

Dear Epson,

You kinda suck.

Love always,
Ben Shult

Alright. No. Back on topic. Here’s a closer look at that guy in the picture that may or may not be Davis. Click to make it big.

Now. Time to read the article to see if it mentions him, or if this is just some sort of unseemly lookalike with similar hobbies.

But first, I’ll scan the next page so I can read it at crappy-quality-300-dpi.

Dear Epson,

I CAN’T READ THIS.

Love always,
Ben Shult

That’s better.

Oh snap!

Waaaaiiit. No. That’s not right.

Incidentally, the fact that I never realized Davis’ dad’s name is Dave kinda bugs me a little.

Anyway.

Very nice sentiment.

On the downside, Davis, just because of your newspaperly galavantry, the first chapter of Ten is being delayed a few days from being posted.

So yeah. Davis was in the newspaper, and I just had the most fun writing a blog post that I have in a long, long time.
